Tl- the contact owns a 1997 Plymouth Voyager. The contact stated that while traveling approximately 30 mph, the vehicle erupted into flames. The contact pressed down on the acceleration pedal, noticed that the vehicle was not on and changed gears into neutral to coast the vehicle off the road. The contact was able to extinguish the flames with a water hose from a residential home. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to the contacts residence and was to be inspected and diagnosed by a dealer. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting for a response to determine how the failure occured and if the vehicle could be repaired. The contact was also included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 98v185000 (child seat), 02v076000 (seat belts), 02v293000 (air bags) but did not receive notification of the recalls to receive the repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and they provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 300,000. Dyd.

There are instances where I am out and about and after returning the my vehicle I go in and when I start the vehicle it will start and shut itself off. Seems to happens when I use it frequently or on hotter days. Also the panel inside the car that tells you your speed the gas you have the gears all that stuff will stop functioning but the car will still be drivable. That will have I's own time when it too decides when it wants to work and when it will work. These do not happen at the same time. They happen separately. At first I thought it was an alarm issues locking the vehicle but it happens even when the alarm is used properly. Then at a later time the vehicle will start and work as it had once before. Vehicle runs great it just occasionally will not turn on. I took it to the mechanic and they say it is an electrical issue. I got a second opinion and that mechanic also told me it was a electrical issue. Neither mechanic does electrical work. One stated there are so many codes he did not know what to tell me and so he gave me the vehicle back. And said it is working fine now. And that is where when it comes to the electrical parts failing the mechanics want the vehicle when it is not functioning. When they get to it it is fine therefore feel it is best to just leave it at that. I bought the vehicle like this it happened the second day. Then mechanic fixed what he thought was a lose wire. But it continues to happen I have had to have the vehicle towed 5 to eight times with a few of those resulting in the vehicle starting removing from tow or right before going on tow. I usually just go pick up the vehicle at a later time when it has time to rest. I go back and start it as if nothing has happened. Only when starting the vehicle never while driving. The gadgets are the ones that stop working while driving and sometimes when I start the vehicle they are not functioning.

I started engine put it in gear (drive) stepped on gas went about 40mph and I noticed the speedometer was not working and the needle was still at 0. I had to stop the vehicle put it in park turn it off turn it on again put it in drive and then it would work again. Every now and then this would happen, and is very annoying not knowing how fast I am going.

The heat changes from hot to a/c by itself, the rear defrost don't work all the time, the back wipers go on by then self with different delays,,, , stays on defrost, and the strut tower are very poor shape, never saw strut towers rust like this on any other van or car but this one. . 1998 Plymouth Voyager. . . Also all this stuff wrong with it and the check engine like don't go on. . . Very bad van to have.

I own a 1998 Plymouth Voyager. At the time of the first incident the vehicle had approximately 80,000 miles on it. While driving I noticed that a number of warning lights suddenly appeared and that all of the guages were not operating on the dash. The vehicle was brought to scap Jeep/Plymouth/Dodge dealership in fairfield CT. The technician said that he had no clue what it was and that he would have to trace each wire and it would include numerous man hours. He also suggested replacing the main computer. If I wanted to have them fix it I would have to make another appointment. I found that the vehicle operated just fine, just could not tell mph, mileage, auto door locks failed and airbag, anti lock brakes, in addition to all other gauges. Three days later all returned to normal for a few weeks and then a repeat. The problem continued with no pattern for the next few years. Dealership claimed it was computers. In speaking with my local mechanic, he had another customer with same type vehicle and same problem. This customer spent in excess of $2000 at the dealership and problem still persisted. The local mechanic opened the dash and immediately found a wire that was partially broken free from a harness. He pushe the wire completely into receiver and problem solved. Due to wire being frayed, he went to local junk yard to get a used harness end and replaced said piece. Same problem was found with our vehicle. Wire was fixed and the entire job was less than 1 hour of labor. Have had no problems since. Plymouth has issued no recalls or even any alerts of the problem to its dealerships. In phone calls to customer service they claim that there is no problem. I do not believe that two vehicles in the same town are the only ones to experience this problem and hope that you look into this issue and order any recalls necessary.

My vehicle hit the rear of a Jeep cherokee at approx. 10 mph. I stopped and exited the vehicle to look at the damage and found practically nothing. The engine compartment then burst into flames and destroyed the entire front of the van. I do not know what caused the fire, but I thought I should report the incident. I have sent the van to the junk yard. I have taken several pictures of the damage and would be glad to share them with you.

Total power shutdown while trying to start. Started 10 minutes later. Various components started failing - door locks, intermittant wiper, rear wiper, rear washer, power mirror. Took to dealer and was told I needed a new bcm. Replaced bcm for $600 and was told that everything had to be repaired! they replace defective bcm 50-60 times a year so that they can tell you your car is not working! what a racket! and apparently the one they replaced had already been replaced before - how many times I don't know. $220 of recommended repairs were not guaranteed to fix the problems either! I reported the details to "customer assistance" and was told they would call back - they didn't. When I called them they said that all assistance was denied! I had to pay $600 so they could tell me what I had already told them! I'll take it to an independent shop where they charge to fix the car.

Windshield wipers worked intermittently. The consumer also experienced electrical defects. The lights and radio were sometimes effected. Provide further details. Consumer feels this is very dangerous since the wipers stop working in the middle of a rain storm which leads to poor visibility.

1997 Voyager stahls often. Come to a complete stop at red light, accelerate and the engine stalls. No warning and no warning lights displayed. We start the van up again and continue on. Also, on the highway we had two instances of this van stalling. Was able to restart and continue on. Need help, what is causing this very dangerous situation?.

Transmission wont change gear properly. The technician replaced two sensors. The electrical system also didn't work properly. Please provide further information.

The contact owns a 1996 Plymouth Voyager. Since November of 2003, the transmission has been replaced three different times. After purchasing a brand new transmission, it failed again the very same day and needed to be replaced again. The contact has had the top half of the engine rebuilt. The vehicle is stuck in drive and will not hold fluid. The front windshield wipers activate without a power surge in the vehicle. In addition, the rear bolts keep coming out of the shocks. The contact has taken the vehicle to have the bolts tightened three or four times. The engine is ticking and smoking. The serpentine belt slips off if it gets even slightly wet from snow or rain. The check engine light sporadically flashes on and off or constantly remains illuminated. The air conditioner was completely serviced; however, it cannot be used because of the transmission failure. The current mileage was 155,000 and failure mileage was 116,250. Update 09/10/08 updated 09/15/08.

The vehicle experienced a fuel leak. The electrical system has not worked while vehicle was running. (window, blinkers, and the radio) restarting the vehicle solves the problem each time. Scc.

Consumer stated that while driving without warning the electric system failed causing the consumer to lose steering control and brakes. Dealer notified. Ts.

Consumer states that electrical system does not work properly.

All gauges on vehicle drop to zero except the gas gauge. Can't tell what speed you are going. Can't tell what gear I am in. Automatic doors locks and alarm stop working. Blower works but no ac or heat. Was told it was the body control module.

My headlights and tail lights come on by themselves when the vehicle is turned off. The local dealership said it was a headlight switch, put in a new one, charged me and it did not fix the problem. Then they said it was a computer. I took it to another dealership and they said it was not the computer, but did not know what the problem was. A third vehicle electrical shop simply had no idea what was causing the lights to come on. So for the past two years, I have removed the fuses from the headlights and only drive the vehicle in the day time. As long as the fuses are not in and I do not turn on the headlights, the problem does not happen. Of course having a car you can't drive at night is a bit of a hindrance.

Safety recall clock spring assembly nar 1/22/2003 the air bag light illuminated and the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer where the problem was diagnosed as a short in clock spring. The power door locks were not unlocking, but the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.
